Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for thecompleteness and reliability of all of the information presented in this report. Toprovide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of theCity of <strong>Laredo</strong> has established a comprehensive internal control framework that isdesigned both to protect the government’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse andto compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City of <strong>Laredo</strong>’sfinancial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internalcontrols should not outweigh their benefits, the City of <strong>Laredo</strong>’s comprehensiveframework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable ratherthan absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from materialmisstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge andbelief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.The City of <strong>Laredo</strong>’s financial statements have been audited by Canales, Garza, &Baum Co., P.L.L.C., a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The goal of theindependent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financialstatements of the City of <strong>Laredo</strong> for the fiscal year ended September 30, <strong>2011</strong>, arefree of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on atest basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financialI


statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimatesmade by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.The independent auditors concluded, based upon the audit, that there was areasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the City of <strong>Laredo</strong>’sfinancial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, <strong>2011</strong> are fairlypresented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor’s report is presentedas the first component of the financial section of this report.In addition, the City has an Internal Auditor’s Division. The division is under theCity Manager but reports directly to the Mayor and City Council. Its primaryresponsibility is to measure and evaluate the City’s accounting and operationalcontrols. This division was directly established to ensure that the City’s assets aresafeguarded and can provide reasonable assurance of proper accounting andoperational activities to our public.The independent audit of the financial statements of the City of <strong>Laredo</strong> was part ofa broader, federally mandated “Single Audit” designed to meet the special needsof federal and state grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Auditengagements require the independent auditor to report not only on the fairpresentation of the financial statements, but also on the audited government’sinternal controls and compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis oninternal controls and legal requirements involving the administration of federalawards. These reports are available in the Single Audit Section of this report.GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, andanalysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’sDiscussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed tocomplement MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City of <strong>Laredo</strong>’sMD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.Profile of the GovernmentThe City of <strong>Laredo</strong> incorporated in 1755. It is located on the north bank of thehistorical Rio Grande River. <strong>Laredo</strong> is unique because it is the only City to operateinternational bridges between two Mexican states. The City presently maintainsfour border crossings, three with Nuevo <strong>Laredo</strong>, Mexico and one with Colombia,Mexico. <strong>Laredo</strong> is at the center of the primary trade route. It is the only border citystrategically positioned at the convergence of all land transportation systemsbetween Canada, the United States and Mexico. The City of <strong>Laredo</strong> is the largestcity in the County of Webb; it is the tenth most populated City in the State of Texasaccording with a population of 233,152 in 2010 according to the U.S. Census.The City of <strong>Laredo</strong> is empowered to levy a property tax on both real and personalproperties located within its boundaries.

The City of <strong>Laredo</strong> has operated under the council-manager form of government.The policy-making and legislative authority are vested to the City Councilconsisting of the Mayor and eight Council members. The governing council isresponsible, among other things for passing ordinances, adopting budgets,appointing committees, and the hiring of the City Manager. The City Manager isresponsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the City Council, foroverseeing the day-to-day operations of the government, and for appointing thedirectors of the various departments. The council is elected on a non-partisanbasis. Council members may serve up to two (2) four (4) year terms. The mayoris elected to serve a four-year term with a limit of two (2) terms. All councilmembers are elected by district. The mayor is elected at large.The City of <strong>Laredo</strong> provides a full range of municipal services including police andfire protection, parks, recreational and cultural activities, libraries, recyclingservices, a civic center, public health and social services, municipal housing,public improvements, public bus transportation, water and wastewater services,sanitation services, four international bridges, an international airport, planning andzoning, and general administrative services. As such, these activities are reflectedin the financial statements along with the capital project funds, debt service fund,internal service funds, and fiduciary funds. These financial statements wereprepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for localgovernments as prescribed by the Government Accounting Standards Boards(GASB).The financial statements include component units of the City of <strong>Laredo</strong>.Component units are units are legally separate organizations for which our electedofficials are financially accountable. The City’s component unit entities include:• <strong>Laredo</strong> Municipal Housing Authority Corporation• <strong>Laredo</strong> Transit Management, Inc.• <strong>Laredo</strong> Convention and Visitor’s Bureau• <strong>Laredo</strong> Fire Fighters’ Retirement System• <strong>Laredo</strong> Public Facilities Corporation - La Terraza, LLCAll these entities can be explained more in detail on note #1 of the Notes to theBasic Financial Statements portion of the <strong>CAFR</strong>.The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City of <strong>Laredo</strong>’s financialplanning and control. The City Manager presents a proposed balanced budget tothe City Council for review though council workshops. The council is required tohold public hearings on the proposed budget and to adopt a final budget by nolater than September 30 th , the close of the City of <strong>Laredo</strong>’s fiscal year. Theappropriated budget is prepared by fund, function (e.g., public safety), anddepartment (e.g. police). Department Directors may make transfers ofappropriations within a department through an insufficient appropriation notice thatIII


is reviewed by the Budget, Finance and City Manager’s Office depending on thedollar value. Transfers of appropriations between funds require the specialapproval of the City Council. Budget-to-actual comparisons are provided in thisreport for each individual governmental fund for which an appropriated annualbudget has been adopted. For the general fund, this comparison is presented aspart of the basic financial statements for the governmental funds.For governmental funds, other than the general fund, with appropriated annualbudgets, this comparison is presented in the governmental fund subsection of thisreport. Also included in the governmental fund subsection are project-lengthbudget-to-actual comparisons for each governmental fund for which a projectlengthbudget has been adopted (i.e., the special revenue fund and the capitalprojects fund).Factors Affecting Financial ConditionThe information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understoodwhen it is considered from the broader perspective of the specific environmentwithin which the City of <strong>Laredo</strong> operates.Local economy: Though the nation’s economy is struggling with sales,mortgages, and unemployment, the City of <strong>Laredo</strong> has been very fortunate to nothave received the full impact. <strong>Laredo</strong> is strategically positioned with a largetransportation and warehousing industry where we meet the basic needs ofconsumers. Trade between the United States and México is a vital part of oureconomy and continues to prosper. The Port of <strong>Laredo</strong> is the #1 inland Port onthe U.S. – México border. With our 4 international bridges, <strong>Laredo</strong> crosses over$173 billion imports and exports annually. It is the 6 th largest U.S. CustomsDistrict in the country. The <strong>Laredo</strong> International Airport is the 8 th largest cargo hubto South America. In 2010, the Airport serviced over 425 million pounds of cargoas compared to prior year.The City of <strong>Laredo</strong> continues to undertake an aggressive marketing approach inbringing additional commerce to our City. We continue to visit as well has hostproducers of goods from Central and South America to our City in order toestablish stronger economic growth. We have established healthy businessopportunities where <strong>Laredo</strong> will be a route through the Ports of Lazaro Cardenasand Manzanillo to logistically import products into the United States. Two greatcatalysts that will enhance the City’s economic growth in international trade are thefollowing:• The City has built two cold storage facilities which will draw exports to ourGateway City. Exporters of fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers will crossour border more expediently while keeping its products safe from theexternal elements. The countries of Chile and Ecuador have signed formalIV


agreements with Mexican officials and the City of <strong>Laredo</strong> for this venue.• Current plans are underway to construct a $2.3 million facility located at ourInternational Airport for federal inspections. This will allow MexicanCustoms to pre-clear American goods for import into Mexico. This will bethe first international inspection in the United States.Another major economic catalyst that is boosting our economy tremendously is theactivity of oil and gas in our area. The drilling and exploration in the Eagle FordShale, has heightened the City’s sales tax and hotel/motel revenues to new levels.Due to the close proximity to our City, the oil and gas industry increased otherservice sectors in our community such as rental properties, restaurants, and nonessential purchases. This activity has created job employment opportunities to ourcitizens where it is expected to create over 36,000 new jobs.Locally, investors continue to be very interested in <strong>Laredo</strong> and its market,especially in retail. <strong>Laredo</strong> continues to be the home of Wal-Mart’s #1 sales storein the nation. Grocery store chains such as H.E.B. continue to invest in <strong>Laredo</strong> byadding additional stores. Hobby Lobby, additional electronic stores such as BestBuy and sporting goods stores such as Academy continue to be top nationwideretail sellers in <strong>Laredo</strong>. Our 1.2 million square foot mall holds over 150 storeswhich amongst them are many restaurants such as Luby’s, Olive Garden, RedLobster, Tony Romas, etc. It also has stores such as Dillard’s Bells, Macy’s, JCPenny, Sears, BeBe, Guess, Hollister, American Eagle, Aeropostale, ChuckyCheese, and many more.In addition to these stores, we have added a new flavor to <strong>Laredo</strong>. Over 40 blocksof Mexican import vendors have set up shop in a strip of <strong>Laredo</strong> called “SanBernardo Avenue”. This street is dedicated to promoting <strong>Laredo</strong> as the shoppingattraction for everything unique to México and its products with artistry and crafts.This has become a very popular destination for tourists and locals.A visit must be taken to the <strong>Laredo</strong> Energy Arena; a City owned facility that isoperated by SMG is the home of the 2-time Central Hockey League Champions,the “<strong>Laredo</strong> Bucks”. This beautiful facility hosts many family oriented events whichinclude indoor football, exhibition basketball games, Rodeos, motor cross racing,wrestling, and major concert performers.MAJOR INITIATIVESFor the Year 2010-<strong>2011</strong>The City staff, following the directives of the City Council and the City Manager,have addressed and completed a large number of projects during the year.

Management's Basic RequiredDiscussion Financial SupplementalAnd Statements InformationAnalysisGovernment- Fund NotesWide Financial To theFinancial Summaries FinancialStatementsStatementsSummaryDetailFigure A-2 summarizes the major features of the City’s financial statements, including the portion of the Citygovernment they cover and the types of information they contain. The remainder of this overview section ofmanagement’s discussion and analysis explains the structure and contents of each of the financial statements.Government-wide StatementsThe Government-wide statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City of<strong>Laredo</strong>’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all of the City’s assets and liabilities, with the differencebetween the two reported as net assets. Overtime, increases and decreases in net assets may serve as a usefulindicator of the City’s financial health or position.• Increases or decreases in the City’s net assets are indicators of whether its financial health isimproving or deteriorating, respectively.• To assess the overall health of the City consideration to non-financial factors such as changes in theCity’s property tax base and the condition of the City’s roads.The Government-wide financial statements of the City are divided into three activities:• Government activities- Most of the City’s basic services are included here, such as the police, fire,parks, public works, health, library departments, and general administration. Sales taxes and propertytaxes, charges for services, and the state and federal grants finance most of these activities.• Business-type activities – The City charges fees to customers to help it cover its cost of certainservices it provides. The City’s Municipal Court operations and a portion of the Bridge revenues areincluded here.• Blended Component units – The City includes six other entities in its report.

Although legally separate, these “component units” are importantbecause the City is financially accountable for them.Fund Financial StatementsThe fund financial statements provide more detailed information about the City’s most significant funds – notthe City as a whole. Funds are grouping or related accounts that the City uses to keep track of the specificsources of funding and spending for particular purposes.• Some funds are required by State law and by bond covenants.• The City Council has established other funds to account for particular purposes or projects and or toshow that it is properly using certain revenue sources.The City has three kinds of funds:• Governmental funds – Most of the City’s basic services are included in Governmental funds, whichfocus on (1) how cash and other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash flow in and outand (2) the balances left at year-end that are available for spending. Consequently, the Governmentalfunds statements provide a detailed short-term view that helps you determine whether there are moreor fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City’s programs.Because this information does not encompass the additional long-term focus of the Government-wideStatements, we provide additional information at the bottom of the Governmental Funds Statements, oron the subsequent page, that explains the relationship (or differences) between them.• Proprietary funds – Services for which the City charges customers a fee are generally reported inproprietary funds. Proprietary funds, like the Government-wide Statements, provide both long- andshort-term financial information. These funds are generally used to account for services for which theCity charges customers either outside customers or internal cost centers of the City.o Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities inthe government-wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for itsMunicipal Transit System, Bridge System, Municipal Housing, Waterworks, Sewer, and SolidWaste Funds.o Internal service funds are an accounting devise used to accumulate and allocate costs internallyamong the City’s various functions. The City uses its internal service funds to account for itsRisk Management, Health & Benefits, Fleet and Information Technology Funds.• Fiduciary funds – The City is the trustee, or fiduciary, for its employee’s pension plans. It is alsoresponsible for other assets that – because of a trust arrangement can be used only for the trustbeneficiaries. The City is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are used fortheir intended purposes. All of the City’s fiduciary activities are reported in a separate statement offiduciary net assets and a statement of changes in fiduciary net assets. We exclude these activitiesfrom the City’s Government-wide financial statements because the City cannot use these assets tofinance operations.Notes to the Financial Statements - The Notes provide additional information that is essential to a fullunderstanding of the data provided in the Government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes tothe financial statements follow the basic financial statements.6


Required Supplemental Information – In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanyingnotes, the <strong>CAFR</strong> also presents certain required supplemental information. These schedules include abudgetary comparison and information concerning the City’s funding of its pension obligations and otherpostemployment benefits.Other Information – Following the required supplemental information are additional schedules such asthe combining statements referred to above in connection with non-major governmental funds, internalservice funds and fiduciary funds and schedules of expenditures for capital projects.GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSISNet Assets. The City’s combined net assets totaled $799.1 million as of September 30, <strong>2011</strong>. Analyzing thenet assets and net expenses of the governmental and business-type activities separately, the business typeactivities net assets are $343.7 million and the government type activities are $455.4 million. This analysisfocuses on the net assets (Table A-1) and changes in general revenues (Table A-2) and significant expenses ofthe City’s governmental and business-type activities.The largest portion of the City’s net assets reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, building,equipment, improvements, construction in progress and infrastructure), less any debt used to acquire thoseassets that is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide service to citizens; consequentlythese assets are not available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in capital assets is reportednet of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from othersources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.Table A-1City of <strong>Laredo</strong>’s Net AssetsSeptember 30, <strong>2011</strong> and 2010GovernmentalBusiness-TypeActivities Activities Total<strong>2011</strong> 2010 <strong>2011</strong> 2010 <strong>2011</strong> 2010Current and other assets $ 218,591,259 $ 225,848,059 $ 246,605,303 $ 184,775,286 $ 465,196,562 $ 410,623,345Capital assets 573,867,035 513,872,337 465,505,124 428,607,886 1,039,372,159 942,480,223Unamortized Bond Costs 4,617,550 4,436,239 4,081,902 3,333,943 8,699,452 7,770,182Total assets 797,075,844 744,156,635 716,192,329 616,717,115 1,513,268,173 1,360,873,750Current liabilities 42,564,674 36,707,797 38,126,375 39,570,677 80,691,049 76,278,474Non-current liabilities 299,098,678 276,858,075 334,345,651 272,167,887 633,444,329 549,025,962Total liabilities 341,663,352 313,565,872 372,472,026 311,738,564 714,135,378 625,304,436Net Assets:Invested in capital assets,net of related debt 404,332,329 371,030,290 273,496,354 251,995,464 677,828,683 623,025,754Restricted 24,098,965 23,051,240 25,879,932 16,695,175 49,978,897 39,746,415Unrestricted 26,981,198 36,509,233 44,344,017 36,287,912 71,325,215 72,797,145Total net assets $ 455,412,492 $ 430,590,763 $ 343,720,303 $ 304,978,551 $ 799,132,795 $ 735,569,314A portion of the City’s net assets, $49.98 million represents resources that are subject to external restrictionson how they may be used.

Graph 1 represents the cost of each of the City’s 7 largest programs as well as each of the programs revenue.Net cost (total cost less fees generated by the activities and intergovernmental aid) is also reflected for eachprogram. The net cost is the financial burden that was placed on the City’s taxpayers by each of thesefunctions.• The cost of all Governmental activities this year was $236 million.• The amount that our citizens paid for these activities through City taxes and revenues such as interestearnings, franchise fees, and unrestricted grants was $128.2 million.• 45.9% of all Governmental activities expenses were from Public Safety, 12.3% were from PublicWorks, 9% were from Health & Welfare, 10.3% were from Cultural & Recreational, 14.2% were forgeneral governmental activities and 8.3% were from “Other” categories. (See Graph 3).• General Government (support services) comprised approximately 14.2% of the total expenses in fiscalyear <strong>2011</strong>; a very stable expenditure line item with an increase of only $155 thousand from prior year.• Expenses for Public Safety represent 45.9% of total expenditures with an increase of 11.9% or $11.5million from prior year. A portion of the increase was due to increased contractual obligations withthe Fire and Police Unions where a 4% cost of living increase was given to Police totaling $1.5 millionand 3.25% to the Fire Department totaling $1 million. In addition, there was a significant adjustmentfor uncompensated absences of $9.6 million of which $3.1 million was unused leave by the PoliceDepartment.• Public Works expenses represent 12.3% of total expenditures with a decrease of $3 million or 9.3% ascompared to the prior year. The decrease in this area is due to a reduction of charges and activity forthe Colonias Projects in Webb County as it relates to heavy construction.• Cultural & Recreational increased by $2.4 million or 10.7% as compared to prior year. This is due toincreased funding for parks projects by Community Development Block Grants of $1.5 million andother smaller increases in Friends of the Library Fund of $500 thousand.• Air Transportation I.e. the International Airport increased by $2.7 million or 49.07% as compared toprior year. The increase of $2.5 million is due to depreciation expenses of its assets.• Business Type Activities transferred to Governmental Activities $5.8 million, an increase of $1.2million from the prior year.• Overall, there was an increase in net assets of $13.8 million for the City. There was a $24.6 millionincrease in the business type activities and a decrease of $10.9 million in the governmental activitiesgenerating the $24.6 million.• 29% of all Governmental Activities revenue came from charges for services, 27% from property taxesand 16% from sales taxes (see Graph 2).Graph 210


Graph 3Business-type ActivitiesRevenues of the City’s business-type activities were $185.5 million for the fiscal year ending September 30,<strong>2011</strong>, an increase of $28.4 million from prior year. The increase was for various reasons including an increasein capital grants and contributions in the amount of $10.3 million and $12.4 million in charges for services.Other major revenue categories remained at the same level as in the prior year.Expenses for the City’s business-type activities were $140.9 million for the year, a difference of $2.6 millionfrom the prior fiscal year. (Refer to Table A-2). The areas where these increases and decreases occurred areas follows:• $2.7 million increase in Water System for non-operating expenses such as interest of $2.7 million.• $1.3 million increase in Solid Waste System; operational expenses increased in Sanitation and Landfilldivisions including the following: personnel with $79 thousand, materials and supplies $341 thousand,contractual services $929 thousand and Closure and Post Closure expenses of $208 thousand.• $1.3 million decrease in the Sewer System; operating expenses increased $700 thousand in thefollowing divisions: Administration $222 thousand, Wastewater Collection $269 thousand, anddepreciation expenses of $175 thousand.

The focus of the City of <strong>Laredo</strong> is to provide information on near term inflows (currentresources) outflows, and balances of available resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City of11


<strong>Laredo</strong>’s financial requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balances may serve as a useful measure of theGovernment’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.As the City completed the year, its governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of $158.2 million.The fund balance category is as follows: $134 thousand for non-spendable funds which are used for inventoryitems within general fund; $105 million which are restricted for debt and grants; $29.2 are committed forspecific purposes as it relates to reserves, public safety, etc.; $13.3 million are assigned for a specific use forGeneral Fund and $10.6 are unassigned which can be used by the City government as it is needed.The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City of <strong>Laredo</strong>. At the end of the current fiscal year, fundbalance of the General Fund was $35.5 million of which $22.4 million is committed, and $10.7 is unassigned,$1.6 million is assigned and the remaining amount is restricted and non-spendable. As a measure of theGeneral Fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unreserved fund balance and total fund balance tototal fund expenses. A healthy unassigned General Fund balance represents 30.16 % of the total fund balancecategory.During the current fiscal year, the City’s General Fund balance increased by $574 thousand as compared toprior year. In spite of the current national economic crisis, the City was able to manage its resources andimplement a plan in order to save funds without interrupting or affecting services provided to the citizen of the<strong>Laredo</strong>. Some of the key factors are as follows:• As compared to prior year, property tax revenues slightly increased by $128 thousand. There was nogrowth in assessed valuations from prior year. The City has not increased its tax rate for the last eightconsecutive years. We remain hopeful that while other City’s revenues are constant, others areas willshow larger improvements.• Sales Tax revenues increased by $3.5 million as compared to the prior year. The increase is a greatindication that the Eagle Ford Shale gas industrial boom has significantly boosted the economy in ourCity this year.• Charges for Services increased by $472 thousand as compared to prior year.• General Fund expenses decreased by $2.9 million from prior year. Where most of the departmentsremained stable, growth (increases) occurred in categories such as: Public Safety by $3.1million,General Government by $431 thousand, and Cultural and Recreational by $670 thousand. Offsettingthe increases, capital outlay decreased by $7.2 million. The major increase for public safety was inpersonnel expenses by $3.0 million due to contractual obligations in payroll. Other Financing Usesreflected an increase of $2.2 million due partially to transfers-in from the Capital Improvements Fund.The Debt Service fund has a total fund balance of $8.3 million, all of which is reserved for the payment ofdebt. The Debt Service Fund had an increase of $1.9 million over prior year.Proprietary funds. The City of <strong>Laredo</strong>’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in theGovernment-wide Financial Statements, but in more detail.Total net assets of the Business – Type Activities at the end of the year totaled $344 million. The total netassets increased by $39 million as compared to prior year. The largest area of change is in the WaterworksSystem, with an increase of $26.8 million, and the Sewer System had an increase of $5.8 million. The OtherFunds category is reported at $43.6 million; a decreased of $5.6 million. An increase of $24.6 million is theresult of operations of the proprietary funds for the fiscal year. The increase can be further broken down intooperating revenues of $12.08 million and other non-operating revenues, net of expenses, of $6.3 million. Thebusiness-type activity funds increased in revenues in the amount of $12.1 million. Charges for Servicesrevenues increased by $11.5 million over prior year due to a higher number of customers serviced in the Waterand Sewer Systems. Capital Grants and Contributions increased by $12.2 million due to completion ofprojects financed with grants and contribution from other categories as it relates to intergovernmental funds.12


Other factors concerning the finances of this fund have already been addressed in the discussion of the City’sbusiness-type activities.General Fund Budgetary HighlightsOverall, the City has not only maintained at least a 15% fund balance as required by City Charter, but has alsohas been able to increase the rate to 25.12% of operating expenditures in FY <strong>2011</strong>. Steadily and in spite ofcurrent economic conditions, the City has been able to sustain and strengthen its economic condition. Anexample of an indicator that led us to this position is that sales tax collections increased by 14.8% over prioryear and Hotel/Motel by 58.3% or $1.4 million as compared to budget. With appropriate planning andcautious financial spending, the City’s General Fund balance increased to $35,520,440 or 25.12% of operatingexpenditures as of September 30, <strong>2011</strong>.Original Budget vs. Final Amended Budget:Revenues and Other Financing Sources:• During the year, the General Fund budget was amended by increasing additional appropriations of$3.5 million. The largest increase was to amend the budget in the capital outlay category in order toaccount for various City street improvements.Expenses and Other Financing Uses:• Surprisingly, the original and amended budget remained virtually unchanged thought the year; nochanges were made to the budget.Amended Budget as compared to Actual Expenses:Revenues:• The actual revenues reflect an overall favorable variance of $12.5 million as compared to the amendedbudget. This variance had various attributes:o Sales tax revenues increased by $3.35 million.o Contribution and Donations exceeded the projected revenues by $9.7 million. This amount isas a result of the recognition of the value of donated for storm drainage, street improvementsand sidewalk improvements by developers to the City.Expenses and Other Financing Sources (Uses):• An overall negative variance of $3.9 million when comparing the amended budget to the actualexpenses increased (prior to adjustments). A large portion of the increase was due to capital outlayand $3 million transferred from the Capital Improvement Fund for the completion of various projectsin General Fund during the year.o General Government realized savings in the amount of $1.3 million from various areasincluding the Municipal Court, City Attorney, Building, and Planning Departments.o Public Works realized savings of $839 thousand in the divisions of Drafting & Surveying,Street Maintenance and Street Construction.o Cultural & Recreational had savings of $1.1 million in the Library and & Cemetery divisions.o All other departments of General Fund played a proactive role in limiting and restrictingexpenses and ensuring that the City’s fund balance remain at the same level as in prior years.CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATIONCapital AssetsThe City of <strong>Laredo</strong>’s investment in capital assets for its Governmental and Business-Type activities as ofSeptember 30, <strong>2011</strong> is $1.04 million (net of accumulated depreciation). The total increase in the City’sinvestment in capital assets for the current fiscal year was $142.2 million net increase over prior year.Additions, to capital assets such as land, infrastructure, equipment, construction in progress and buildings forthe year totaled $62.6 million for governmental activities and $36.9 million for business type activities.13

Box 579<strong>Laredo</strong>, <strong>TX</strong> 78042-0579The accounting and reporting policies of the City as reflected in the accompanying basic financialstatements conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for local governmentalunits as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board and the American Institute ofCertified Public Accountants. The following represent the more significant accounting policies andpractices of the City.Government Wide and Fund Financial StatementsThe government-wide financial statements report information on all of the non-fiduciary activitiesof the primary government and its component units. The effect of inter-fund activity has beenremoved from these statements.Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues,are reported separately from business activities. Business-type activities rely to an extent on feesand charges for support. The primary government is reported separately for certain legally separatecomponent units for which the primary government is financially accountable.Program Revenues and Direct Expenses - The Statement of Activities demonstrates the directexpenses of a given function or segments offset by program revenues. A direct expense isspecifically associated with a service, program, or department and is clearly identifiable to aparticular function. In the Statement of Activities, certain indirect expenses are reported in theprogram expenses. Program revenue derives directly from the program itself or from parties outsidethe reporting government’s taxpayers or citizenry. Program revenues include charges to customersor applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by agiven City function or segment. Program revenues also include grants and contributions that arelimited to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Taxes and otheritems not included among program revenue are reported as general revenue.Fund AccountingThe accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered to be aseparate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of selfbalancingaccounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures orexpenses, as appropriate. Government resources are allocated to and accounted for in individualfunds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spendingactivities are controlled. The City maintains the following fund types:Governmental Funds37


CITY OF LAREDO, TEXASNOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTSGovernmental funds are those through which most governmental functions of the City are financed.The acquisition, use and balances of the City's expendable financial resources and the related currentliabilities (except those, if any, which should be accounted for in proprietary funds) are accountedfor through governmental funds. The measurement focus is upon determination of financialposition and changes in financial position, rather than upon net income determination. The Citymaintains the following governmental fund types:General Fund - The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to accountfor and report all financial resources not accounted for and reported in another fund.Special Revenue Funds - Special Revenue Funds are used to account for and report the proceeds ofspecific revenue sources that are restricted or committed to expenditures for specific purposes otherthan debt service or capital projects. Proceeds of specific revenue sources established that one ormore specific restricted or committed revenues should be the foundation for a special revenue fund.The restricted or committed proceeds of specific revenue sources should be expected to continue tocomprise a substantial portion of the inflows reported in the fund. Special revenue funds should notbe used to account for resources held in trust for individuals, private organizations or othergovernments.Debt Service Fund - The Debt Service Funds are used to account for and report financial resourcesthat are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditure for principal and interest.Capital Projects Funds - Capital Projects Funds are used to account for and report financialresources that are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditures for capital outlays, including theacquisition or construction of capital facilities and other capital assets. Capital projects fundsexclude those types of capital-related outflows finance by proprietary funds or for assets that will beheld in trust for individuals, private organizations or other governments.Proprietary FundsProprietary funds are used to account for the City's ongoing operations that are financed andoperated in a manner similar to private business enterprises - where the determination of net income,financial position, and cash flows are necessary or useful for sound financial administration. Goodsor services from such activities can be provided either to outside parties (enterprise funds) or toother departments or agencies primarily within the government (internal service funds).The City has adopted the following policy regarding proprietary activities under GASB StatementNumber 20, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds and Other GovernmentalEntities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting.Enterprise Funds – Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that (1) are financed andoperated in a manner similar to private business enterprises where the intent of the City Council isthat the cost (expenses including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general publicon a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges or (2) where the CityCouncil has decided that periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, and netincome is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, orother purposes.38


CITY OF LAREDO, TEXASNOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTSThe City will apply all GASB pronouncements and all FASB Statements and Interpretations,Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinions and Accounting Research Bulletins (ARB) issued onor before November 30, 1989, unless they conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements andapply all FASB Statements and Interpretations, issued after November 30, 1989, except those thatconflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements.Internal Service Funds - Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods orservices provided by one City department or agency to other City departments or agencies or toother governmental units on a cost-reimbursement basis.Fiduciary FundsFiduciary funds are used to account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent forindividuals, private organizations, other governmental units, and other funds.Trust Funds - These funds are accounted for in the same manner as proprietary funds with themeasurement focus on determination of net income and capital maintenance. The City is custodianto funds contributed into the fund; funds are used toward annuity payments. The City has two trustfunds: Firefighters Retirement System, and City Annuity.Agency Fund - The Agency Fund is used to account for funds where the City’s role is purelycustodial. All assets reported in an agency fund are offset by a liability to the party on whose behalfthey are held and do not involve measurement of results of operations. Currently, the City has threeAgency fund: Payroll Clearing, Police Retirees Dependants, and Fire Retirees Dependant FundPermanent Funds – Permanent funds are only used to account for and report resources that arerestricted to the extent that only earnings and not principal may be used for purposes that support thereporting government’s programs for the benefit of the government or its citizenry.Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement PresentationThe government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurementfocus and the accrual basis of accounting. Economic resources measurement focus reports allinflows, outflows, and balances affecting or reflecting an entity’s net assets. Accrual basisaccounting is the method that recognizes the financial effect of transactions, events, and inter-fundactivities when they occur, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes arerecognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied while the organization recognizes grantrevenue as soon as all eligibility requirements obligatory have been met.Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resourcesmeasurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized whenmeasurable and available. "Measurable" means that the amount of the transaction can bedetermined, and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter tobe used to pay liabilities of the current period. The City considers property tax revenues to beavailable if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expendituresare generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the related fund39


CITY OF LAREDO, TEXASNOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTSliability is incurred. An exception to this general rule is principal and interest on general long-termobligations, compensated absences, and claims and judgments which are recognized when due.Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are allconsidered to be susceptible to accrual and are recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period.Sales taxes collected and held by the state at year-end on behalf of the government are alsorecognized as revenue. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available whenthey are received.The City reports the following as major governmental funds:General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for and report allfinancial resources not accounted for and reported in another fund.Debt Service Fund is used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted,committed or assigned to expenditure for principal and interest.The City reports the following as major proprietary funds:Bridge System Fund is used to account for toll proceeds from four international bridges and therelated operations, maintenance, and debt service.Water Works System Fund is used to account for the operations, maintenance, and debt servicefrom three water treatment plants and seventeen booster stations and the related revenue receivedfrom 63,703 customers.Sewer System Fund is used to account for the operations, maintenance, and debt service of theCity’s five sewage treatment plants and its related revenue received from 59,955 customers.Additionally, government-wide reports for proprietary funds include the following fund type:Internal Service Funds are used to provide fleet services to other funds, provide services associatedwith the City’s partially self-funded health benefits program, provide services associated with therisk management for all city property including workman’s compensation, and providetelecommunication services to all funds on a cost-reimbursement basis.As a general rule, the effect of inter fund activity has been eliminated from the government-widefinancial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments-in-lieu of taxes and other chargesbetween the City’s water and sewer functions and various other functions of government.Private sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued after November 30, 1989, arefollowed in both business-type activities and enterprise funds fund financial statements to the degreethat those standards do not conflict with or disagree with the guidance of the GovernmentalAccounting Standards Board. Governments have the option of following subsequent private-sectorguidance for their business-type activities and enterprise funds, subject to this same limitation. TheCity has elected to follow subsequent private-sector guidance.40


CITY OF LAREDO, TEXASNOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAmounts reported as program revenue include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods,services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants andcontributions. Internally dedicated funds are reported as general revenues.Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items.

The principal operating revenues of theenterprise funds and of the government’s internal service funds are charges to customers for salesand services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost ofsales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues andexpenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the government’s policyto use restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources as they are needed.C. Budgets and Budgetary AccountingThe City adheres to the following procedures in establishing the operating budgets reflected in thebasic financial statements:(1) Sixty (60) days prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, the City Manager submits to the CityCouncil a proposed budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1st. This budget is required toinclude expenditures by office, department, and agency and the means of financing them. Proposedshort and long range capital expenditures and bonded debt requirements must also be included.(2) Public hearings are conducted at which all interested parties may comment concerning theproposed budget.(3) Council adopts the budget on or before the last day of the month of the fiscal year currentlyending through passage of an appropriation ordinance and tax levy ordinance. If the City Councilfails to adopt the budget at that time, the budget of the previous year is deemed to be adopted.(4) Annual appropriated budgets are legally adopted for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds,Capital Project Funds, Debt Service Fund, Proprietary Funds, and certain Trust Funds. Annualbudgets for HUD Section 108 and Expendable Trust Fund are not legally adopted. A comparison ofbudget to actual is presented in the Basic Financial Statements for the General Fund.(5) The City Charter identifies various allowable amendments to the budget after adoption.Supplemental Appropriations are allowed if the City Manager certifies that there are, available forappropriation, revenues in excess of those estimated in the budget and Council by ordinance andafter a formal inquiry has established a need for the supplemental appropriation. EmergencyAppropriations are allowed to meet a public emergency affecting life, health, property, or the publicpeace of the City through an emergency ordinance if there are available un-appropriated revenues.Decreases in the amount of appropriations are allowed if revenues available are insufficient to meetthe amount appropriated.41


CITY OF LAREDO, TEXASNOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTSTransfer of Appropriations is allowed. Several supplementary appropriations were necessary duringthe year primarily to adjust the total budget for grants received from various federal and stateagencies.(6) The City Council approval is required in order to transfer un-appropriated balances from onedepartment, office, or agency to another. The City Manager has the authority, without City Councilapproval, to transfer appropriation balances from an expenditure account to another within adepartment, office, or agency of the City. The reported budgetary data has been revised foramendments authorized during the year.(7) Each appropriation, except those for capital expenditures, shall lapse at the close of the fiscalyear to the extent it has not been expended or encumbered. Certain differences exist between thebasis of accounting for budgetary purposes and that used for reporting in accordance with generallyaccepted accounting principles.D. EncumbrancesEncumbrances represent commitments related to unperformed (executed) contracts for goods orservices. Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts, and other commitmentsfor the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicableappropriation, is used in the governmental funds.Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are reported as reservations of fund balances since thecommitments will be honored during the subsequent year and, accordingly, do not constituteexpenditures or liabilities.For budgetary purposes, appropriations lapse at year-end except for that portion related toencumbered amounts. For financial purposes, the original budget also includes actual appropriationamounts automatically carried over from prior years to cover prior-year encumbrances.E. Equity in Investment PoolCash balances of all City funds (except for the <strong>Laredo</strong> Firefighters' Retirement System) are pooledand invested. The Equity in Investment Pool consists of cash in bank accounts, which are pooledand allocated to all funds. Investments purchased with pooled cash consisting of Investment Pools,U.S. Government obligations, U.S. Agency obligations, and Mortgage Backed Securities arerecorded at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement 31 - Accounting and Financial Reportingfor Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools and are classified as “Investments” in theaccompanying combined balance sheet. Interest earned on investments purchased with pooled cashis allocated monthly to each participating fund based upon the fund's average month equity balance.Funds that incur a negative balance in equity in pooled investments are reclassified as Due to OtherFunds in the financial statements and are not allocated any interest earnings or charged interestexpense.42

At the date the plan began, the City granted monetarycredits for services rendered before the plan began using a theoretical amount equal to two timeswhat would have been contributed by the employee, with interest, prior to establishment of the plan.Monetary credits for service since the plan began are a percentage (100%, 150%, or 200%) of theemployee's accumulated contributions. In addition, the City can grant, as often as annually,another type of monetary credit referred to as an updated service credit which is a theoreticalamount which, when added to the employee's accumulated contributions and the monetary creditsfor service since the plan began, would be the total monetary credits and employee contributionsaccumulated with interest if the current employee contribution rate and City matching percent hadalways been in existence and if the employee's salary had always been the average of his salary inthe last three years that are one year before the effective date. At retirement, the benefit is calculatedas if the sum of the employee's accumulated contributions with interest and the employer-financedmonetary credits with interest were used to purchase an annuity.Deposit Rate: 7%Matching Ratio (City to Employee) 2 to 1A member is vested after5 years53


CITY OF LAREDO, TEXASNOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTSMembers can retire at certain ages, based on the years of service with the City.The Service Retirement Eligibilities for the city are: 5 yrs/age 60, 20 yrs/any age.Under the state law governing TMRS, the actuary annually determines the City contribution rate.This rate consists of the normal cost contribution rate and the prior service contribution rate, both ofwhich are calculated to be a level percent of payroll from year to year. The normal cost contributionrate finances the currently accruing monetary credits due to the City matching percent, which are theobligation of the City as of an employee's retirement date, not at the time the employee'scontributions are made. The normal cost contribution rate is the actuarially determined percent ofpayroll necessary to satisfy the obligation of the City to each employee at the time his/her retirementbecomes effective. The prior service contribution rate amortizes the unfunded (over-funded)actuarial liability (asset) over the remainder of the plan's 25-year amortization period. The unitcredit actuarial cost method is used for determining the City contribution rate. Both the employeesand the City make contributions monthly. Since the City needs to know its contribution rate inadvance for budgetary purposes, there is a one-year delay between the actuarial valuation that is thebasis for the rate and the calendar year when the rate goes into effect. (i.e. December 31, 2010valuation is effective for rates beginning January 2012).SCHEDULE OF ACTUARIAL LIABILITIES AND FUNDING PROGRESSActuarial Valuation Date 12/31/04 12/31/05 12/31/06 12/31/07 12/31/08 12/31/09 12/31/10Actuarial Value of Assets $ 93,220,964 104,886,750 118,216,115 131,250,617 147,642,107 166,772,840 227,498,651Actuarial Accrued Liability 159,858,885 176,834,192 196,473,335 255,908,643 275,809,704 305,212,249 363,711,044Percentage Funded 58.31% 59.31% 60.17% 51.29% 53.5% 54.6% 62.5%Unfunded ActuarialAccrued Liability (UAAL) 66,637,921 71,947,442 78,257,220 124,658,026 128,167,597 138,439,409 136,212,393Annual Covered Payroll 59,429,800 66,500,972 70,411,134 76,207,380 83,778,815 86,683,788 84,075,541UAAL as a percentage ofcovered Payroll 112.13% 108.19% 111.14% 163.58% 153.0% 159.7% 162.0%Annual Pension Cost:Annual RequiredContribution (ARC) 9,637,803 10,609,392 11,593,062 12,670,264 13,625,648 14,436,262 16,239,405Less Contributions Madeat the end of the period 9,637,803 10,609,392 11,593,062 12,670,264 13,625,648 14,436,262 16,239,405Net Pension Obligation $ - - - - - - - -54

CITY OF LAREDO, TEXASNOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTSThere is no provision for automatic post retirement benefit increases. The System has the authorityto provide, and has periodically in the past provided for, ad hoc post retirement benefit increases.The Texas Local Fire Fighters’ Retirement Act (TLFFRA) authorizes the benefit provisions of thisplan. TLFFRA provides the authority and procedure to amend benefit provisions.Contributions Required and Contributions MadeThe contribution provisions of this plan are authorized by TLFFRA. TLFFRA provides theauthority and procedure to change the amount of contributions determined as a percentage of pay byeach firefighter and a percentage of payroll by the city. While the contribution requirements are notactuarially determined, state law requires that each plan of benefits adopted by the System must beapproved by an eligible actuary. The actuary certifies that the contribution commitment by thefirefighters and the City provides an adequate financing arrangement. Using the entry age actuarialcost method the plan's normal cost contribution rate is determined as a percentage of payroll. Theexcess of the total contribution rate over the normal cost contributions rate is used to amortize theplan's unfunded actuarial accrued liability, and the number of years needed to amortize the plan'sunfunded actuarial accrued liability is determined using an open, level percentage of payroll method.The costs of administering the plan are financed from the trust. For the Plan effective July 20,<strong>2011</strong>,(Plan effective March 31, 2010), the funding policy of the <strong>Laredo</strong> Firefighters Retirement Systemrequires contributions equal to 14% of pay by the firefighters. On October 1, 2010, the citycontribution rate was 17.65% of pay for all firefighters. The revised actuarial valuation as of May31, 2010 reflected the scheduled increases in the city contribution rate from 17.65% to 17.90% inJune <strong>2011</strong>, to 18.15% in October 2012, to the ultimate rate of 20.10% in October 2013, andassumed the 20.10% rate will continue at least for the remainder of the UAAL amortization period.Annual Pension CostFor the fiscal year ending September 30, <strong>2011</strong>, the City of <strong>Laredo</strong>'s annual pension cost of$4,644,823 for the <strong>Laredo</strong> Firefighters Retirement System was equal to the City's required andactual contributions during the year. While the required contributions were not actuariallydetermined but were a fixed percentage, the plan benefits which was most recently amendedeffective as of July 20,<strong>2011</strong> has been approved by the Board's actuary as having an adequatefinancing arrangement. On October 1, 2010, the city contribution rate was 17.65% of pay for allfirefighters, and it increased to 17.90% effective June <strong>2011</strong> for the remainder of the fiscal yearaccording to the current collective bargaining agreement. The required contributions were reflectedin the March 31, 2010 actuarial valuation, which satisfied the parameters of the GovernmentalAccounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 27.The entry age actuarial cost method was used, with the normal cost calculated as a level percentageof payroll. The actuarial value is equal to the expected actuarial value of assets adjusted by 40% ofthe difference between the actual market value and the expected actuarial value. The actuarial valueis not more than 110% or less than 90% of the actual market value of assets. The actuarialassumptions included an investment return assumption of 8.0% per year (net of expenses), projectedsalary increases averaging 3.75% per year as a general salary increase and a range from 0% to 7%per year as a promotion and longevity increase based on 30-year career, and no postretirement costof-livingadjustments.

The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniquesthat are designed to reduce short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarialvalue of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations. The actuarial costmethod determines, in a systematic way, the incidence of plan sponsor contributions required toprovide plan benefits. It also determines how actuarial gains and losses are recognized in pensioncosts. These gains and losses result from the difference between the actual experience under theplan and the experience by the actuarial assumptions.The cost of the Plan is derived by making certain specific assumptions as to rates of interest,mortality, turnover, etc. which are assumed to hold for many years in the future.In the actuarial valuation beginning October 1, 2010, the Unit Credit Actuarial Cost Method wasused. This method includes the following components:1. The normal cost is the actuarial present value of benefits allocated to the valuation year.2. The actuarial liability is the actuarial present value of benefits accrued as of the valuationdate.3. Valuation assets are equal to the market value of assets of the valuation date, if any. Theplan is unfunded and therefore no investment rate of returned was used. An inflation rateof 2.75% was used for the actuarial study. Salary or benefit increases were notapplicable to the study.4. Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability is the difference between the Actuarial AccruedLiability and the Valuation Assets. It is amortized over 28 year (the maximumpermissible period under GASB 45 is 30 years).61


CITY OF LAREDO, TEXASNOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS5. Health Cost Trend used in the actuarial study is from 6.90% trending to 4.20% overseventy two years. The basis of the health cost trend is derived from the healthcareinflation rate schedule. Retiree premium rates are assumed to increase with the HealthCost Trend.6. The City of <strong>Laredo</strong> does not have a separate, irrevocable trust fund to the annual OPEBcost; therefore a discount rate of 4.0% has been established on the long term expectationsof returns on operating funds.NOTE 11 - GENERAL LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONSThe following is a summary of changes in the City’s general long-term obligations for the yearended September 30, <strong>2011</strong>:General Certificates Capital NetObligation of Revenue Compensated Lease Notes PensionSerial Bonds Obligation Bonds Absences Obligations Payable ObligationsLong Term Liabilities:Beginning Balances $ 21,166,090 157,247,881 29,390,000 15,927,701 465,231 680,000 44,707,668Additions 3,501,891 9,545,000 10,445,000 6,475,825 807,652 - 10,760,730Retirements (2,990,561) (5,110,793) (1,575,000) (1,690,659) (570,009) (85,000) -Ending Balances 21,677,420 161,682,088 38,260,000 20,712,867 702,874 595,000 55,468,398Current Liabilities:Due Within One Year 3,476,587 7,157,804 1,900,000 2,630,835 473,076 85,000 -Total Liabilities $ 25,154,007 168,839,892 40,160,000 23,343,702 1,175,950 680,000 55,468,398Compensated absences are generally liquidated by the General Fund.Bonds payable as of September 30, <strong>2011</strong> are comprised of the following issues:A - General Obligation Serial Bonds$24,455,000 General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2005 issued for the purpose of refundingoutstanding obligations in order to achieve a debt service savings and pay cost related to the issuance ofthe bonds.

As a result, the 2000 and 2002 Series C.O.’s bondsare considered defeased and the liability for those bonds has been removed from the governmentwideStatement of Net Assets.The advance refunding resulted in a difference between the reacquisition price and the net carryingamount of the old debt of $7,661.473. This difference, reported in the accompanying financialstatements as a deduction from bonds payable, is being charged to operations through the year 2022using the effective-interest method. The agency completed the advance refunding and its total debtservice payments decrease over the next eleven years by $344,073 and resulted in an economic gain(difference between the present value of the old and the new debt service payments) of $307,338.72


CITY OF LAREDO, TEXASNOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTSG - Prior-year defeasance of debt.In prior years, the City defeased certain revenue bonds by placing the proceeds of new bonds in anirrevocable trust to provide for all future debt service payments on the old bonds. Accordingly, thetrust account assets and liability of the defeased bonds are not included in the City's financialstatements. As of September 30, <strong>2011</strong> $15,634,576 in bonds outstanding are considered defeased.H - Landfill Closure and Post Closure CostsDuring fiscal year 1994, the City adopted the provisions of GASB Statement No.18 "Accounting forMunicipal Solid Waste Landfill Closure and Post Closure Care Costs." The landfill closure andpost closure costs and the liability for landfill closure and post closure costs in Solid Waste Fund asof September 30, <strong>2011</strong> is $15,062,067 of which $10,449,569 has been recognized and recorded as aliability based on the Municipal Solid Waste Landfill use.Federal and State laws and regulations require the City to place a final cover on its landfill when itstops accepting waste and perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the landfill sitefor thirty years after closure. In addition to operating expenses related to current activities of thelandfill, a liability is being recognized based on future closure and post closure care costs that willbe incurred near or after the date the landfill no longer accepts waste. The recognition of theselandfill closure and post closure care costs is based on the capacity of the landfill used to date.The liability for landfill closure and post closure care costs of $10,449,569 as of September 30,<strong>2011</strong> represents the cumulative amount for 123.9 acres of the landfill filled with solid waste forclosure and 200 acres for post-closure care. The percentage of the landfill capacity for solid wasteused as of September 30, <strong>2011</strong> is 69.38%. With Landfill receiving a permit for vertical expansionthe estimated remaining life of the landfill is 7 years. Based on the remaining life, the landfill willbe filled to capacity by the year 2018. The estimated total current cost of the landfill closure andpost closure care ($15,062,067) is based on the amount that would be paid if all equipment,facilities, and services required to close, monitor, and maintain the landfill were acquired as ofSeptember 30, <strong>2011</strong>. However, the actual costs of closure and post closure care may be higher dueto inflation, changes in technology, or changes in solid waste management laws and regulations.The landfill is divided into four phases and is further divided into cells of 3 to 7 acres. The newregulations require that liner systems be installed in all cells opened after July 1, 1994. All cellsregardless of their age will be required to receive final cover in conformity with the specifications ofthe current laws.Federal and State laws and regulations require the City of <strong>Laredo</strong> to make annual financialassurances regarding the financing of closure and post closure care. The City is in compliance withthis requirement. It is anticipated that future inflation costs will be financed in part from earningson investments and by a federal mandate fee of $4.25 charged monthly to all garbage users.Commercial accounts, formerly exempt from the fee, are now charged the federal mandate fee. Theremaining portion of anticipated future inflation costs and additional costs that might arise fromchanges in post closure requirements (for example, changes in technology or more rigorousenvironmental regulations) may need to be covered by charges to future landfill users, taxpayers, orboth.73

WATER SUPPLYTHE UTILITY SYSTEMThe City of <strong>Laredo</strong> uses surface water from the Rio Grande as its source of raw water.Water is diverted directly from the river to the immediately adjacent water treatment plantfacilities by two separate river intakes, two separate river pump structures and relatedmultiple pump units. The City of <strong>Laredo</strong>’s water allotment is approximately 59,366 acre-feetof water rights.The first “modern” design rapid sand filter plant for the City of <strong>Laredo</strong> was constructed in theyears 1928-1929. The original plant was constructed on a land elevation of 400 feet and hasbeen periodically shut down due to high levels of flood waters from the river. Due to thisflooding experience, it was decided by the Waterworks Board to purchase sufficient landimmediately East of the original plant site to construct a new plant. The acquired land hasan elevation of 420 feet, which is above any historically recorded flood level of the RioGrande at this location. This second plant has a capacity of one million gallons per day.The combined pumpage capacity of the City’s Upper and Lower Treatment Plants is 65million gallons per day. The average daily demand during <strong>2011</strong> was approximately 32.4million gallons per day and peak demand for <strong>2011</strong> was 44.7 million gallons per day.Connections to the water system as of September 30, <strong>2011</strong> were 62,195.WASTEWATER SYSTEMThe City of <strong>Laredo</strong> owns and operates six wastewater treatment plants, which have acombined total design capacity of 24.713 million gallons per day ("MGD"). The SewerSystem includes approximately 519 miles of sewer lines and 71 lift stations. The averagedaily treatment is 18.78 MGD with 58,726 connections as of September 30, <strong>2011</strong>.280

Currently, the system consists of approximately 708 miles oftransmission and distribution lines.In 1957, the City of <strong>Laredo</strong> entered into an agreement with Webb County to use Lake CasaBlanca Reservoir as off-channel storage for emergency use. This reservoir has animpoundment capacity of 77,800 acre feet at top of the Dam, 58,600 acre feet at maximumpool, (PMF – Probable Maximum Feet) of which 20,000 acre feet are reserved foremergency use. This agreement is still in effect.281
